With this frame AC059 Carbon cyclocross frame disc brake - Shenzhen ICAN Sports Equipment Co., Ltd. the stats for the Headset and Bottom Bracket are below

Headset: 1-1/8",1-1/2"
Would the head set below work with my frame? and is that all I need, would I need anything else for the fork/steerer tube?
wiggle.com | LifeLine 1-1/8"-1.5" Intergrated Headset with Carbon Cap | Headsets


Bottom Bracket: BSA/PF30
Will the following bottom bracket and crank work in this frame, this bike will also be Di2 with hydrualic disc brakes
wiggle.com | Shimano BB-R60 Ultegra 6800/105 5800 Hollowtech ii | Bottom Brackets (and do I need English or Italian thread?)
Shimano Ultegra Double 6800 11 Spd Chainset, Chainsets, CHAINSETS ROAD
The headset will work but please try to get one in matte carbon not gloss. (Assuming the frame you bought is the same matte carbon finish as pictured. Haha)

Okay, you need this style in a 68mm width (english).http://www.wiggle.com/fsa-pf30-road-bottom-bracket/

Also, adapters exist to convert a shell designed for PF30 to other systems.
